Truth or Peace

Does God require us to seek for peace or the truth? This is the most pressing question in this age of ecumenism and political correctness, and this short study will help us find out which God prefers.

Christ: Don't assume that I came to bring peace on the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother...and a man's enemies will be the members of his household. Matthew 10:34-36.

The sword that Jesus referred to is the Gospel message which creates division by its very nature. The fact is when one stand up for the truth he will automatically create enemies. Truth and error are never friends.

Christ : This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the      world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

The fact is people do not want to have light shine on their errors so they will seek a maxim such as the precept: "live and let live". While we are not suppose to coerce people into the truth, it is our job as Christians to always expose the works of darkness and never compromise.

Apostle Paul:  Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them. Now some may say for the sake of not offending others and continue to be friends, even though I know their deeds are evil I will not expose them as long as they are not hurting anybody.

Irish Statesman Edmund Burke: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Compromising truth for the sake of peace never works in the long term, because as soon as those that are in error gain power they will seek to silence those who are preaching to their conscience. (Homosexual hate speech laws).


Unknown Author: "The truth is the truth, even if no one believes it. A lie is a lie, even if everyone
believes it."
So we have to know that the truth will always create divisions and we must learn to not be afraid to speak out against evil . For true love is to warn others of the danger they may be heading towards or are already in because of ignorance.

The greatest peace is unity in the truth of God. So do not compromise brethren with the world by being silent about the rising tides of evils (homosexuality, divorce and remarriage etc..)  nor with the Churches with their ecumenical movements based on error. (Example: Islam, Christianity, Hinduism uniting even though they preach contradictions). Preach the truth in season and out of season, for we may not have peace now but we and those who repent from our preaching will have it in the hereafter forever more.
Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.  John 17:17

The sanctuary in Heaven

Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9 "According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture. Exodus 25:8,9 God told Moses to build him a sanctuary according to the pattern that he sees. Does that mean God created a blue print for him or is it a pattern of something in heaven? Copy of the True Tabernacle The sanctuary that they built in the wilderness is a copy of the one that is in heaven. Yes there is a sanctuary in heaven. So if there is a sanctuary in heaven , does that mean there is a High Priest also? They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." Hebrews 8:5

Is the United States a Christian nation?

 Why calling the United states a Christian country is detrimental to Christianity.  The United states was clearly influenced by Christian principles; The pilgrims were escaping persecutions from Europe and while many of them practiced Christianity, they were still suffering persecution in Europe from state churches. The founding fathers, some being Christians, made sure to separate the church from the state. They well knew of the carnage that comes as a result of having a state religion. And so, the US became one of the rare countries without a state religion. Each person was left to follow the dictate of his own conscience.  When you call a country by a specific religion, people associate all of its behaviors with said religion. Note this example: Slavery was an institution in the United states; this would also mean that the brutality of slavery was accepted a Christian precept. Even the mistreatment of the Indians would have been considered a Christian precept. In fact,...

When God calls you. The fiery way to God

 "Why is my life so hard? Why are these things happening to me? I pray to God for healing, but there is no healing. I pray for better finances, but no money is forthcoming. I am so tired of these struggles; I am on the verge of giving up. I might as well live life the way I want to and hope to die soon. Have these thoughts ever come to your mind? These are thoughts many will encounter as they ascend the mountain of God. For many of us, life began well. We had a great time in our youth; we believed in love, we believed the future was bright, and we felt whole as a person. But somewhere along the way, hardship showed up. An illness, a broken heart, the death of a loved one, or broken aspirations sent us into despair and grief. Suddenly, life became dark and hopeless. But then, we heard the voice of God. We heard someone preach, 'Come to Jesus and all will be well; come to Jesus and He will give you the desires of your heart.' So we came to Jesus, hoping that we were back on ...
